Hadirt gritted his teeth. The energy aura on his body surged out and turned into a black defensive shield. Following that, he channeled all the energy in his body into the defensive shield as it spread out to cover a four-hundred-meter radius around him, making every rock on the ground quake in its wake.
Edmund closed his eyes at the sight and took a deep breath. It was too late for anything now. He only had one Power Elixir Drop, which he used earlier.
Edmund had thought that the battle would be over if he managed to take Hadirt down in ten minutes while not giving Hadirt the chance to take the Power Elixir Drop, making Edmund an instant legend among the nine towns.
But now, everything has changed. Hadirt was not going to die, and all of Edmund's plans and hard work would have been for nothing. No one would be able to stop Hadirt, and Buck Town was going to be razed to the ground along with all the cultivators there.
As the City Lord of Buck Town, the thought of a complete massacre filled him with nothing but rage. Edmund wanted so badly to be able to do something for Buck Town, but it was all too late now.
All of this had started because he had wanted to get rid of Wilbur, too. How foolish he was. Edmund's own selfishness had led to the destruction of his town. He was filled with pain and regret, and he took a deep breath as his mind cleared up all at once.
Edmund's eyes flashed as he looked at Wilbur and the others. "Leave while you can, Mister Penn. Let me take this… I can at least hold him down for a while. I hope… I hope you can live on for the cultivators of Buck Town and come back one day to take the position of City Lord back. Tell the universe that Lord Edmund was not completely ruthless, you know?"
Those words made everyone's chest ache, but Conrad said, "Alright, Lord Edmund. I'll be on my way, then."
Conrad flew towards the square in the center of Buck Town. Wilbur said, "I'm not leaving, Lord Edmund. Not even if everyone else does. I'm going to take down this monster Hadirt with you, today."
Edmund's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth as he hissed, "You're going to get yourself killed, Wilbur. Now is not the time to play hero, just leave!"
"No."
